Undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable Back 4 Blood card decks, but we would not recommend you to go for this when playing alone. This is because almost all the cards in this deck revolve around giving you and your team great stat boosts. Hence this is a completely support-oriented build. That ranges from bonus currency to increased inventory for both offense and defensive items.
Although there is some downside such as you will lose some money permutation kill and have fewer ammo capacities. You will hardly notice these as your team will be able to quickly purchase stronger upgrades and items, therefore becoming stronger in a short time.
